New RB on Campus - Johnnie Lang

[CloneinWDSM]

Taking this from paWALKrk from 247

Looks like we got a JUCO RB that seems like he is going to be on the roster. Lot of Utah people seem upset and thought he would end up there.

Visited for spring game. No idea if he is a preferred walkon or scholarship.

In high school he had a .778 rating but offers to Florida state, UK, and Arizona

Sounds like he had legal troubles before his senior year of high school and then transferred to a school in Utah.

Utah Utes fans seem pretty upset that he decided on ISU.

Think he played QB in HS so maybe they rated him for QB and the offers were for RB?

He played RB in HS (at least as a junior he did. I think he played QB in Utah). Had over 2,000 yards for Manatee as a Junior.

247 rated him as a RB but I think legal trouble interfered with his scout rating

Looks like he missed a year after this due to legal troubles and moved to Utah to get straightened out. I don't know if he's a JuCo, looks to me like he might me a true freshman.

Burglary in high school in Florida. Moved to Utah. Not that highly rated, but really good offers. Strange.

We definitely need a body at RB if Kene is going to have to RS this season, however, I always question bringing on board guys with questionable pasts, but I'm sure CMC has met him and knows his situation and you have to trust that. It sounds like his mom didn't like the area where they lived in Florida and the kids he was hanging out with, so maybe they moved to Utah to escape a bad situation?

His videos aren't anything that special IMO, but his 40 time is really good. If he indeed is a Cyclone, then welcome aboard, and make the best of this opportunity young man. You won't regret coming to Ames, that's for sure.

Agree, he could be a freshman.

What happened to Kene?

What happened to Kene?

Achilles injury. Could possibly return sometime during the season, but that might be optimistic.....

Wow that kid is explosive. His elusiveness reminds me a Deshaunte Jones, but his thicker than Deshaunte. Based on his highlights he played both RB and QB. He hits the hole like a RB. I don't know if he was a full time QB or just a wildcat option. Mostly ran the option in the QB highlights.

At Manatee as a junior he played RB (based on highlight video)

Your right. Looks like he was a RB in Florida and a option QB in Utah. Looks like a great addition.

With Henry coming this weekend, we are getting stacked at RB!

Is this the guy folks were hinting about adding at the RB position a few months ago? Even better than I expected if that's the case.
